Commercial Heat Pumps

Commercial Heat Pumps for Hot Water and Heating

Hot Water Heat Pumps provide a highly efficient means of heating hot water for many commercial and industrial applications. Achieving an average COP of 4.2 means that the energy efficiency of Heat Pumps is over 4 times that of conventional water heaters.
Being powered by electricity means that Heat Pumps can reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and allow us to take advantage of renewable energy in providing for our heating and hot water needs.

The advanced technology of our Heat Pumps also ensures optimal performance across a wide range of ambient temperatures which makes them suitable for all Australian conditions.

Commercial Heat Pumps for Apartment Buildings

Utilising CO2 Heat Pumps for space and domestic hot water heating at Nightingale Housing Apartments.
The revolutionary Nightingale Housing projects utilize the eco-friendly and energy efficient CO2 heat pumps to help achieve their remarkable sustainability goals. With a GWP (Global Warming Potential) = 1, a CO2 Heat pump is 1800 times more environment friendly than a standard heat pump with R410A refrigerant.

Coupled with a buffer tank and Stainless Steel domestic hot water storage tanks, two 15 kW CO2 Heat Pump units provide heating and hot water for all the apartments.

With an average COP (Coefficient of Performance) of 3.9, the energy usage of these CO2 heat pumps is only ¼ of conventional electric water heaters and this technology also offers a 100% fossil free heating solution.

Commercial Heat Pumps for Aged Care Centres

Energy cost savings with CO2 Heat Pumps for hot water heating in Aged Care Facilities.
For a cleaner and greener heating solution, you can’t go past high efficiency, high temperature CO2 Heat Pumps. Combine that with the advantages of prefabricated engineering and you have an energy efficient heating system that can be deployed quickly and easily with no down time.

This is exactly the experience enjoyed by the team at a 90 room aged care facility in Beaconsfield, Victoria. An upgrade from LPG to an all electric heat pump system for both hot water and hydronic heating was seamless and hassle free.

Heating for Greenhouses

Using energy efficient Heat Pumps for heating greenhouses to extend the growing season.
Revere heat pumps can help plant growers sustainably and cost effectively heat their greenhouses. In this recent project we supplied our Revere R410A heat pump which was connected to a large thermal storage tank. The primary loop circulates the water between the heat pump and the tank to maintain a temperature of 45-50°C while the secondary pump circulates the hot water through the growing beds of four greenhouses. This all-electric hydronic heating system provides an energy efficient alternative to LPG or natural gas and can be scaled to meet any size commercial growing operation.

Commercial Heat Pump FAQ

What are the benefits of commercial heat pumps?

Commercial heat pumps offer several key benefits, making them a superior choice for heating and cooling in various applications. Firstly, they are extremely energy efficient, often achieving efficiency levels of up to 500%, meaning they can produce up to five units of heat for every unit of electricity consumed. This efficiency far surpasses that of traditional boilers, leading to significant cost savings on energy bills. Additionally, heat pumps produce renewable heat by transferring energy from natural sources like air, water, or the ground, which reduces reliance on fossil fuels and lowers carbon emissions. Their ability to provide both heating and cooling from a single system further enhances their versatility and value in commercial and industrial settings. Visit Heat Pump Efficiency for a deep dive into the efficiency of commercial heat pumps.

How much electricity does a heat pump use?

The electricity consumption of a commercial heat pump depends on several factors, including the size of the system, the building’s insulation, and the climate. On average, heat pumps use less electricity than traditional heating systems because they transfer heat rather than generate it. The efficiency of a heat pump is measured by its Coefficient of Performance (COP), with most commercial heat pumps having a COP of 3 to 4, meaning they produce 3 to 4 times more energy than they consume in electricity.

How long do commercial heat pumps last?

Commercial heat pumps are designed for durability and typically last between 15 to 20 years, depending on usage, maintenance, and the operating environment. Regular servicing and proper maintenance can extend the lifespan of a heat pump, ensuring it operates efficiently throughout its life. Investing in a quality system and ensuring routine inspections can help maximise longevity.

How much do commercial heat pumps cost?

The cost of commercial heat pumps varies widely depending on the system size, type, and complexity of installation. Initial costs can range from several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. While the upfront investment may be significant, the long-term savings on energy bills and reduced maintenance costs often make commercial heat pumps a cost-effective solution over time. Additionally, various government incentives and rebates may be available to offset initial costs.

How do commercial heat pumps work?

Commercial heat pumps operate by transferring heat from one location to another, using a refrigeration cycle. In heating mode, the system extracts heat from an external source—such as air, water, or the ground—and transfers it indoors. In cooling mode, the process is reversed, with the system removing heat from inside the building and releasing it outside. This efficient process allows heat pumps to provide heating and cooling with minimal energy consumption. To learn more about how heat pumps work, visit Heat Pumps Explained.

Are heat pumps suitable for commercial buildings?

Yes, heat pumps are highly suitable for commercial buildings. They offer versatile heating and cooling solutions that can be scaled to meet the needs of various building sizes and types, from small offices to large industrial spaces. Commercial heat pumps are particularly beneficial in buildings seeking to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, as they can efficiently provide consistent temperature control while using less energy than traditional systems. For examples of commercial heat pump projects, visit our Project Portfolio page.

What sort of heat pumps are suited for commercial buildings?

Several types of heat pumps are suited for commercial applications, including air-source, water-source, and ground-source heat pumps. Air-source heat pumps are commonly used due to their versatility and ease of installation. Water-source heat pumps are ideal for buildings with access to a water source, offering higher efficiency. Ground-source heat pumps, also known as geothermal heat pumps, are among the most efficient options, utilising the stable temperatures underground for heating and cooling. The choice of heat pump depends on the specific needs of the building and the local environment.
